On Our "Virtual Route 101" (Weekly Edition): On Our Week Around the World


Fall is officially arriving tomorrow!!!

We present a snapshot of the week featuring thoughts from the Washington Post, The Economist of London, on quite a week in America and around the World. President Trump made a state visit to the United Kingdom, while the U.S. engaged in a profound conversation following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, Israel continued its military actions in Gaza as the United Nations prepared to vote on "snapback" provisions, which would trigger harsh sanctions on Iran, just before the 80th United Nations General Assembly.

Here’s a snapshot of the week featuring insights from The Washington Post and The Economist:

**The Middle East**
**How Israel is Losing America**  
Public opinion is turning sour even in Israel's strongest ally. Israelis should be concerned.

Palestine is becoming unrecognizable on the ground.  
The UN is supporting a state that appears to be disappearing from view.

**Against the Odds**  
Britain’s relationship with America endures despite challenges.  
Fears of a rupture have not materialized, at least for now.

The health benefits of sunlight may outweigh the risks of skin cancer.  
More sun exposure might improve heart health and boost the immune system, but be cautious about sunburn.

India could emerge as a different kind of AI superpower.  
It may not resemble the U.S. or China, but it still has the potential to succeed.



 




The Israeli and US flags are tightly stitched together at the top, but the middle threads have begun to loosen and unravel—symbolizing a relationship that is no longer as strong as before.
